And another one jumps out of Near Space...

Andddd... two years after Felix Baumgartner jumps from 128,000 feet for Red Bull, Alan Eustace breaks the record from 135,890 for Google.  Well, after all he IS a senior vice president of same.  :)  Instead of hooking a capsule to a balloon, he wore a spacesuit (a really GOOD spacesuit) up on a frame hooked to the balloon.  Whew, whattaview!  Wheeeeee.....
